2012 Infiniti M Hybrid Overview

Test drivers wrote that the 2012 M35h's V6 engine and electric motor deliver quick acceleration. The M Hybrid has a seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. They agreed that the M’s hybrid system has smooth transitions from electric to gas power and added that it can travel for short distances on electric power alone. According to the EPA, the 2012 Infiniti M Hybrid gets 27/32 mpg city/highway, which is excellent for the class. Test drivers reported that the Infiniti M35h has a comfortable ride, and while not incredibly athletic, they wrote that it is fairly agile in turns and has precise, well-weighted steering. Some reviewers commented the M Hybrid’s regenerative brakes can feel a little grabby, which is a common complaint about regenerative braking systems.

Reviewers agreed that the 2012 Infiniti M Hybrid’s interior has an attractive design and prime materials. They said the M Hybrid’s front seats are spacious and comfortable, but noted that tall rear-seat passengers might wish for more headroom. The M Hybrid has 11.3 cubic feet of trunk space, which is small for the class. Some test drivers liked that the M Hybrid’s audio and climate controls are separate from the available navigation system, making them easier to use, but critics said the navigation display isn't very crisp. Standard features include a moonroof, leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable front seats, a USB port, satellite radio, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, proximity key and push-button start. Available features include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, navigation and a 16-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system.
